Salt Lake City Area a Hub of Generosity
From Times Wire Reports
Among the nation’s major metropolitan areas, residents of Salt Lake City-Ogden are the nation’s most generous, and people in Hartford, Conn., are the least, according to a study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Salt Lake City-Ogden residents gave nearly 15% of their discretionary income to charity, according to the study being published today.
The study found that Hartford donated about 4.7% of its discretionary income.
In Utah, much of the charitable giving is in the form of tithing to the Mormon Church.
